Duck Sauce - Big Bad Wolf
"Big Bad Wolf" "is pretty simple, and it can mean anything, really, so we wanted the video to have its own narrative," says A-Trak, one-half of the dance duo Duck Sauce, along with DJ Armand Van Helden. "Remember when dance music videos used to actually be creative? Like when you think back to Aphex Twin, Fatboy Slim and Daft Punk… I don't know why the genre's videos became so generic in recent years.
"When Keith [Schoffield] came up with this idea of 'crotchfaces,' we just thought it was hilarious," A-Trak continues. "He started coming up with all these gags and describing the characters living in this sort of parallel world, and we were sold. He wasn't sure if we'd be down to play the leads, but our take on this was, if we're going to do this, we need to go all the way. So we played the dickheads, essentially."

Paul Devro - Live From Goat Island
“Live from Goat Island is a mix of UK future bass, nudisco and rap, inspired by my time on Goat Island during my last trip to Hawaii. From its beautifully decayed benches, i's calm lil’ bay and three beaches, to its status as a bird sanctuary, Goat Island is a varied paradise that I love. It was first inhabited by a 19th-century lawyer, who proclaimed himself king of the island when he found it was not on any of the king's maps. It is also the island where he kept his two mistresses. This mix is my love letter to the island—varied, calming, upbeat and fun." Download it HERE.

Richard Mosse - Photography
Mosse spent 2 months in the Congo and used Aerochrome, an obsolete technology, to create an alternative image of the complex social and political dynamics of the country. The film, designed in connection with the United States military during the Cold War, reveals a spectrum of light beyond what the human eye can perceive. He aims “to shock the viewer with this surprising bubblegum palette, and provoke questions about how we tend to see, and don’t see, this conflict.” See more of his work HERE.

Keep Watch Vol. XXIX - Bart B More
Мишка is proud to present Keep Watch Vol. XXIX, curated by none other than Bart B More. Bart van der Meer (the B More moniker has nothing to do with Baltimore) has been making a name for himself with his techno-electro house bangers for a few years now, from the engine-revving “Brap” to the gypsy swing of “Romane.” His remixes – for artists like Chocolate Puma, Drop the Lime, and Crookers – consistently tear up the Beatport charts. Whether you know it or not, you’ve definitely danced to one of his tracks. Accordingly, this hour-long mix shows that the Netherlands exports more than music for fist pumps and glow sticks. Download it HERE.
